Fans of Glace, the Madison Avenue dessert shop, will soon be able to find their frozen hot chocolates being sold from a cute truck on the plaza at Rockefeller Center. Flavors will include a Frozen S'mores with a toasted marshmallow rim, and the Fluffer Nutter with peanut butter sauce drizzle, fluff sauce drizzle, topped with honey roasted peanuts and a toasted marshmallow rim. In addition, house-made soft serve in rotating seasonal flavors such as NY Cheesecake and Swanton Strawberry made with Oxnard strawberries will also be available along with signature sundaes. The truck opens for business on May 30th, seven days a week from 12pm-7pm, between 49th Street and The Rink. To celebrate, Glace is offering free mini frozen hot chocolates to the first 100 customers!

We also stopped by Breads Bakery at Rockefeller Center where Martha’s Stewart’s Babka is on sale. Now that’s a “Good Thing.”

Until next time, we’ll be seeing you Around Town!
